88s seem incredibly risky right now with all the light vehicles around. I run an arty focused 88 defensive company. I have large rockets and ready rounds. and well, these work absolutely great great against everything but these damned light vehicles that run rampant. My nebel and stuka usually get good kills, and if they don't kill the get crazy assists as my team mops up what ever I just rocketed. It just seems that I run out of AT fairly quick no matter how many times I recrew ATGs laying around. Id like to field a panther, but can't because I have an 88, there are times I get it up and it does great, other times I simply don't get the chance to put it up or it gets taken out before doing any good. This has got to be one of THE MOST situational units in the game, especially now with R+/ME always being played.

I run 3 paks, 1 shreck squad, 2 P4s, 1 stug, and an 88 for my AT, I have 4x 2 squad call ins of volks that I use simply to recrew anything that needs recrewing. Should I get more AT and if so paks or schrecks? Or should I get more stugs/P4s? I only have my T1 muni upgrade. And it's getting close to the time where im going to start getting the rest of my advantages I'm just not sure what to get yet.

Paks... more Paks.. lots of Paks...

Two Stugs deal with LVS very well...

PAKs just get circled and raped before they manage to fire 3 shots...and Stags need around 5 shots to kill it usually...

PAKs are not worth of their cost because of LVS. Unless you spam Volk mines around them to neutralize speed. Shrecks are quite a good call- if they hit them

This, and at least 2 P4s. Bring your 88 on when he spams infantry, because most of the time vehicles and tanks will follow. And don't forget to ask your mates every 4 secs if you should bring it on!

Get double schrecks and the Pak T2 and get atleast 3 of each and you should be good.

already do this =D

volks mines would be a great idea as well. ill try using that in conjunction with my paks, see im afraid to use shrecks because I've seen them miss LVs far too much. I forget who I was playing but this guy had double schreck storms, they missed at point blank 3 volleys on my T17.

Yah, you are defensive, you can get a pak for 1 schreck, doesn't need a genious to figure out whats better.

[GeneralGlacko]

You could easily put some fausts on those recrewing volks, using the 2 man leftover squad to hit any tank inc.

you'll need more AT if you're wher that's what i say.  With 3 paks and an 88 you're very much relying on being able to recrew them, and when you can recrew them you will probably win.

Surely you must use more heavy armour than that??  Otherwise you could probably use another pak/schreck squad. 

The 88 is map dependant, look at the warmap and then look at the game type (2v2,3v3 or 4v4) then decide whether to throw it in or not.
